In regards to the 1st vehicle, the "Benchmark LS-6"....

It can NO LONGER be called the "Benchmark". Some (insert expletive here) painted SS stripes on the car. As the buildsheets, my photo's http://s275.photobucket.com/albums/j...ars/Benchmark/ , and 15 other NSCC members will attest the car was "stripe delete" from the factory.

A nearly perfect example RUINED!
It is now just a nice low-mile LS-6.

It can't officially be called a "stripe delete" car if it never had stripes in the first place.
How can you delete something it never had?
It came with the standard SS bulge hood,which didn't come with stripes automatically.
It would have to have been built with the optional RPO ZL-2 cowl Induction hood originally,
then requested that the accompanying D-88 sport stripes not be applied and a credit
issued upon delivery.

Oh God..I hope they don't read this and install a cowl Ind. hood..

It is a "D-88" car... the builtsheets are the proof. My personal experience (along with at least 15 other NSCC members) are based upon knowing the 2nd or 3rd owner of the car.

It is a "D-88" car... and I (and 15+ others) know the guy who pulled it out of a barn about 10 years ago... and it didn't have any stripes on it!

Welcome John D.
I think we are both in agreement,but your statement doesn't make sense.
If it WAS a D-88 car,which I'm saying it's not & so is it's buildsheet,
then it WOULD have had the stripes applied originally,which it didn't.
Are you referring to Dean Ribich?

Yep, it's that time of the year again! The morning started off on a great note

First, Holly woke up with a low grade fever...but she's doing okay.

Second, I went to get gas in the truck and while filling it up the wind (which is blowing hard today) blew my door shut and locked my keys in the truck

After calling the dealer, then roadside assistance, then the dealer again to get the VIN number and then calling ONSTAR (thanks Annie H.

) ONSTAR unlocked my truck and I was on my way. Got to BJ...and took a few pics...then went to go outside to take some more...and my sunglasses went missing

Oh well...got it all out of the way today!

So, without further wait...here's the Monday installment...all 222 pictures worth!

Can't wait to meet up with everyone

Benchmark LS-6...

Bruce,if you see this guy again let him know this car is no longer "The Benchmark" of Ls6 chevelles,and that if he is the one that applied the stripes he is a total D-bag!
